MIP Trailing Arm/ Pro Track Build

Post by railey72 »

Just finished this build over the weekend. The MIP kit showed up in a parts lot I bought off craigslist about a year ago. It was a nice find because I didn't know it was included. The only part that wasn't there was the shock tower (Thanks Shodog :D ).

Parts breakdown:
1. MIP Trailing Arm Kit
2. Pro-Track nerf bars
3. Pro-Track rear bumper
4. Thorp tie-rod kit
5. MIP steering post kit (The only thing that actually improves performance) :lol:
6. Dirt Burners aluminum wing
7. Losi aluminum wheel covers
8. Bigjeepzz aluminum shock collars (these are awesome. If Jake makes these again, buy them!)

The plan was to build a buggy that looked really old-school, kind of like the old hopped up Rough Riders with crp nerfs and cages.

That looks great. Now I know why you needed the shock tower so badly

Thanks for the comments! It was a fun build and for some reason the MIP kit and Pro-track parts just seemed to look good together (kind of like two wrongs making a right). If anyone is looking for one of these bumpers I think there is one on ebay right now.

Here is a pic of the MIP steering post kit. I had never seen one before until a good friend sent it to me.
